This project was very challenging.  The use of strings moved the puppet away from immediate control and introduced a host of problems.  The biggest issue was (and still is) the tangling of strings.  One of my classmates suggested that shorter was easier to manipulate, which turned out to be very true.  I saw a fallen branch in the park and thought that it would be nice to give it another chance at life as a puppet.
